Callinex Commences 2023 Exploration Campaign at the Pine Bay Project Located in the Flin Flon Mining District of Manitoba

 
 

Callinex Mines Inc. (the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTCQX: CLLXF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2023 drilling campaign (the "Campaign") at its Pine Bay Project (the "Project") located 16km from Flin Flon, MB (District Overview Map). Phase one of the fully funded campaign is budgeted for up to 10,000 meters of drilling that will focus on testing the Rainbow Deposit (the "Rainbow") at depth as well as follow-up on the Alchemist discovery, the Odin target area and test other recently identified exploration targets ( See news release dated January 30, 2023 ).

 

Two rigs have commenced drilling to test Rainbow at depth at the Project. One drill is testing the potential for the Orange and Yellow zones to continue at depth beyond the known deposit area (   Rainbow Long Section )   . A second drill rig is testing the source of a conductive borehole pulse electromagnetic anomaly off of Rainbow discovery hole PBM-111 that indicates the Orange and Yellow zones may continue to the south and vertically above.

Upon completion of initial drilling at Rainbow, two holes will be drilled to step-out vertically above and below the Alchemist deposit with the assumption that Alchemist is a steeply dipping/plunging system as similarly defined at the Rainbow, as the current geology suggests. Additionally, drilling will be completed to test target area Odin based on refined targeting provided by recently received BPEM survey data and lithogeochemical results.

 

The first phase of the 2023 exploration campaign is anticipated to take 3.5 months followed by processing and assaying of drill core. Upon completion of phase one of the 2023 exploration campaign, a fully funded 10,000m phase two will commence this fall based upon results.

 

The Company has also granted 280,000 stock options exercisable at a price of $3.15 per share to its directors, officers, employees and consultants.  The options are exercisable for a period of five years and are subject to standard vesting provisions.

 

J.J. O'Donnell, P.Geo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 and Exploration Manager for Callinex, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.

5 Best-performing Copper Stocks on the TSX in 2025

Copper prices have seen considerable gains in 2025, reaching a record high on the COMEX of US$5.68 per pound on July 8. Rising prices and supportive policy have elevated many copper stocks.

The price of copper has experienced volatility since the start of the year, as shifting US trade policy has created competing scenarios amid recession and the imposition of tariffs.

On July 8, the price spiked to fresh all-time highs after US President Donald Trump announced he would impose a 50 percent tariff on all copper being imported into the US.

Top 5 ASX Copper Stocks of 2025

Copper has performed well in recent years, and prices for the red metal reached new record highs in July on US President Donald Trump's threats of 50 percent tariffs on copper imports.

The outlook for the red metal is positive in the short-term and there is plenty of optimism about copper over the longer term.

Many market watchers are forecasting robust copper prices, especially as low supply is coming up against higher usage from sectors such as the renewable energy and electric vehicle industries. Fastmarkets is predicting that copper demand from energy transition sectors should grow at a CAGR of 10.7 percent in the decade to 2034.

What Was the Highest Price for Copper?

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound, or US$5,203.58 per metric ton (MT), in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Global Outcry Mounts Over Trump’s Tariff Blitz Ahead of Deadline
